ON THRIVING CROPS.
How to Secure a Fair Yield of VegetabI,
 SOwn from Seed,

How to Secure a Fair Yield of Vegetables
 Sown from Seed.
 In the case of almost all crops sown from seed where they are to stand, as beets, carrots, parsnips and turnips, many more plants come up than can perfect themselves if left to struggle on alone. Just as soon as all danger of insect enemies has disappeared. the careful cultivator will begin thinning out This is done by hand or with a hoe. An expert with the latter imple- ment, in large-iield culture, can strike the plant which he desires to remove almost unerringly with the corner of his hoe, leaving those which remain at equal distances apart. Those not quite so dexterous, must have recourse to hand thinning. Whichever way is used, it is fatal to leave the work until the plants are crowding each other. Any of the crops named above should stand finally not less than nine inches to 8 foot apart. Young beets and carrots can both be used, hence may be left lhlSh abb lILSl, lO DC lulllilCu NdulCu for the table. Onions may be left closer together than any other crop we know of. If the plants are two or three inches apart in the double or triple rows, and the soil is rich, the onions will spread over and crowd each other into one solid mass. Peas can easily be injured by sowing too thickly; double rows three inches apart, alter mated. is plenty thick enough for them. Plants that are transplanted, as the cabbage, cauliflower and the like, do not suffer so much by overcrowding. Annual flower seeds sown in the open ground where they are expected to flower are vastly benefited by giving each plant plenty of room in propor- ton to the nature of its growth. This is so true that if left very thick as they usually come up, and allowed to strug- gle against each other as the wild weeds, the strongest manage to get high enough to flower, perfect their seed, and finally die of starvation. The same kinds of plants with abundance of room, will on the contrary, continue to flower perhaps all through the sun meE Prairie Farmer.

The Various Ingredients Entering Into the
 Composition of COcido.
 Istayed at an excellent French hotel in Madrid, but got tired of the French table d'hote. 1 wanted to eat as the Spaniards eat. One evening I per suaded a Spanish gentleman to take me to real Spanish middle-class res taurant and let me taste the fare of the country. The Spanish are a frugal and moderate race. Two or three dishes and dessert-that is their din- ner. There is no long bill of fare as among the French. The restaurant was quiet room on the ground floor of a modest-looking house. There was one or two families and several single gentlemen dining. The women wore handkerchiefs on their heads and shawls over their shoulders. Peo- pie dropped in, had a soup and a dish of meat, an orange, some nuts. and went away satisfied. Our bill of fare was more eXtravagant, but it created sensation. The landlord and all the walters came in turns to look at the extraordinary Englishmen who had such gigantic appetites. Here is the exact menu: We began with olives and pickled pimentos and guindellas and chilis. These were the horS de d'GuUres. Then cigarettes. Then we had an ordinary thin soup, followed by cigarettes; and then came the great National dish, called cocido. If you have a good dish of cocido (pronounced cothidO, because of the Spanish lisp given to the before cer- tain vowels) you have a good deal for your dinner. It is savory stew of chicken, potatoes, sauce, bacon and white beans, all boiled up with pieces of beef. In most Spanish families this is the everyday dish. Of course the poorer classes have to leave out some of the ingredients, except on festive occasions. In Andalusia the peasants will set around huge painful of their version of this article. It is made ac- cOrding to their means, and often vegetables are plentiful, but the pieces of meat few and far between, and each man ladies it out by spoonfuls into his mouth. Plates are dispensed with. The foreigner who is suddenly con- fronted with a huge dish of coctdo and politely requested to help himself is in some difficulty. He takes a spoon- ful at hazard. The water still stands at his elbow. "The senor has only taken beans" Again you make dash with the spoon and secure something else. The waiter stares, but does not move away. 1.-The senor has only taken sausage" The senor, confused, requests the waiter to assist him. and then the process,

REFORM IN MOROCCO.

How the Sultan of That Country Put an
 End to Kief Consumption.
 Reform is carried with a high hand in Tangiers. No public meetings are necessary; no long speeches need be made in the city councils. As soon as the mind of the Sultan of Morocco is settled, upon any important question, he merely indicates the course which it is desirable that his subjects should pursue, and, if they do not take his somewhat fot cible hints, woe be unto them! Recently the faithful of Tan giers were informed, after the mOrn- ing prayers held in all the mosques, that their sovereign had determined to forbid the sale or purchase of all in- toxicants, especially of tobacco, snuff and "kief,' preparation of hemp. Think of cutting off Moor from the privilege of his pipe!
 That His Highness was in grim earnest was speedily made to appear; for, few hodrs after the promulga- ton of the decree, two soldiers, found smoking kief, were put in irons and cast into prison. Many of the towns people, who had not even heard of the edict, were soundly bastinadoed for disobeying its provisions, and certain old smokers, who could not at once break themselves of their bad habits, were cast into prison, with the pleasant prospect of being fogged ignomini- ously through the streets. The shops in which intoYicants had been sold were closed, and large quantities of kief were burned in the market-place. Processions of ragamuffins paced the streets, exalting the wisdom of the Sultan's proclamation, and hooting the snuff-stained handkerchiefs which they carried upon long poles.
 Such arbitrary measures may seem too extreme, even in so good a cause, but the Sultan has reason for severity. Tobacco is not strictly allowable for believers in the Koran, and kief is the inseparable companion of Moslem de- generacy. It is against this article that the new crusade, if we may so characterize a Mohammedan agitation, is directed. It is one of the most in- sidious of narcotics, supplying its vic tim with celestial visions and beatifc serenity for time, and ending by domin ating his soul and body, like q tyrannical master. - YouthS Compa1e- ion,

HINDOO HOUSE LIFE.
The HumIliatIons to Which the Women of
 India Are Subjected.

Inula Are SuDJecteu
 Now for an idea of Hindoo wom- ans home life. She lives in small room almost destitute. The floor and walls are of clay, with no ornamental ton of any sort and the least furniture possible. Every morning she has to pray-not for herself, as she is taught that she has no soul-but for her hus- band, for rain and general blessings. Then she spends two or three hours preparing the breakfast. She doesn't t eat with her husband, but, perhaps, fans him at his request. During the daytime she either sleeps, gossips with the other women, or sometimes read CT reads to them from the lives of the gods. These stories are unfit for human ears, they are vile from beginning to end. The children and women are taught them. At night they prepare their husbands meal in the same man. ner. They are not protected against the weather and dampness, nor are they properly fed and clothed. The rich live the same as the poor. If sick they are deemed cursed by the gods and are taken to the stable and left alone. The only food they can get is left by stealth. Thousands die of neg lect. The first day that Hindoo boy abuses his mother is a festive occasion with his father, who boasts of it to his friends. To be widow is the sun of unhappiness. She is especially cursed by the gods. As the husband dies, half a dozen barber's wives rush upon her and tear the jewelry from her ears and nose. Behind the funeral cortege she follows, surrounded by those friends, who throw her into the water. If she drowns they say she was a good wife after all. She has gone to meet her husband. She Is kept in dark ened room for fourteen days. At the end of this time her husbands ashes are taken to the river, and, after peculiar ceremony of prayers, the soul is supposed to be free. It may enter an insect or an animal. The worst punishment the soul can sustain is to enter the body of woman.- PhtIG- deLpltid Press.

How to Clean Silver.

The very best material for cleaning silver or plate that is in constant use is soap and water with soft cloth. If it is tarnished little damp whiting and small brush will soon remove it, but If it has been laying by small quantity of spirits of wine or ammonia must be added to the whiting and left to dry and then brushed off The req. son of the superiority of whiting over other plate powder is that it contains nothing metallic, and therefore can not act upon the silver and wear it away, which is of more importance than to obtain more brilliant tempor- ary polish. Whiting must be washed in two waters and allowed to settle; then pour off the water and let it dry and it will be fine and soft and free from any grit that will scratch the sur face of the silver.-Detrot Tribune.

though slow, is interesting. A spoon ful of beans on the plate; then, select ed with the greatest care, piece of chicken; then patient search for a slice of sausage buried under mound of cabbage; then the cabbage itself; then a minute devoted to a voyage ot discovery in search of the incest piece of beef; then an exploration in search of succulent morsel of bacon; then a spoonful of potatoes, and then over all an extra spoonful of the beautiful gravy. I timed my waiter. and he took six minutes and half to help me to coeido. When the dish passes down table d hote it takes about an hour to 90 round It is for this reason that the Spaniards help themselves altogether at the same time from the common dish. -Referee.

SHE DESERVED IT,
The Hard Times a Woman Had in tAettIng
 Q GoYernment CIarkahIn.

Government CIerEshIp.
 For the past three months, writes a Washington correspondent of the Chi cago Times, there has been a daily visi tor to the office of Appointment Clerk Hig- gins, in the Treasury Department, in the person of a middle-aged widow, who came from Baltimore to Washington in search of employment. Two months ago she was assigned as a substitute for a clerk who had gone home sick After working week or so the clerk died, and the vacancy had to be filled by the Civil Service Commission. Although she had passed an examination, the widows name was never certified from the board for an appointment. Again there occurre1 a temporary vacancy on account of illness, and the widow was for a second tune given employment as a substitute, and again the clerk for whom she was "subbing' died. A third time she was given employment to ''sub' for a sick clerk whose ill., ness had extended over the time limited for sick leave, and for the third time the illness of the clerk whom she was repre- senting terminated fatally. This fact created no little comment among clerks, and whenever one was compelled to leave a substitute at his or her dosk the unfor- tunate clerk requested that the Baltimore widow should not be selected. There was a superstition that she would bring death 10 the door of all for whom she ''subb5d." !" Finally the subs titute system was abolish ed by Secretary Manning just before he left the Treasury Department The widow, however, continued to visit the appointment division daily. She occupied the same seat from nine in the morning until half-past two every afternoon, when she would arise and address Mir Higgins: 'Well, MT. Higgins, was there any use in my coming up here to-dayln
 'No, there was not, madam," was Mir. Higgins mil1 response.
 These visits and this little conversation have been repeated from day 10 day until a recent Monday. When the little woman arose to go she again asked Mir. Higgins if there had been any use in her repeat ing her visit that day.

VIGILANCE REWARDED.

How a German Police Officer Wore the
 Cross of the Legion of Honor.
 The Schnaebele case brings back to mind an incident in connection with the secret political police, which oc- cured in Stuttgart in 1856. At that time King William of Wurtemburg had arraigned a meeting of the Emperors of France and Russia in his capitol Great was the inflex of visitors. and still greater the fear of an attempt upon the life of the ruler of France. Besides the whole of the home police force, all the gendarmes that could be spared were ordered to Stuttgart, and the men of both services put in civili- ans dress, recognizable, however, by secret badge. On the part of the French authorities a whole brigade of detectives under the direction of M. d'Hirevoy, had also been sent, and the united forces placed under the immedi- ate orders of the Municipal Director, Councillor von Majer. Unbeknown to the latter M. d'Hirevoy had taken upon himself to bring with him some six or eight of the smartest mouchGrds, who were 10 watch closely not only the rest of his men, but also the Stuttgart police. By a lucky accident-or q clever trick Herr von Majer discovered the French mans ruse, and scarcely had these mOuchardS arrived and fairly installed themselves at different hotels when every one of them was arrested and promptly brought before him. In vain were their assurances that they be- longed to the "profession;" Herr yon Majer turned deaf ear to their solemn protestations, and quietly told them: 1t is useless to try to deceive me your colleagues have been personally presented to me, and I know every one of them" M d'Hirevoy pleaded his best in their favor, but he had to humble himself and "acknowledge the corn" The next morning early Herr von Maier was sent for by the Emperor Napoleon, who personally handed him the cross Of a Commander of the Legion of Honor, adding smilingly that he had never been better watched in his life.- American Register.

Good ripe apples have feeding value of not less than eight cents per bushel of fifty pounds, and are as good for other stock as for milk COWS. For any one who has stock to consume them, it is as much of a loss to waste good apples as to waste good roots. When fed with re ason and appropriate food they are health-inspiring as wei! as nutritious, and are only injurious when fed immoderately.
